Filipino Time
I hate hearing/reading the word “around” in the context of schedules.“I will be there AROUND 5pm” this pretty much means the person saying this will arrive past 5. We are so used to this system that we actually feel a one hour window is acceptable since technically 5:55 is still within the realm of “around 5pm”.
This is so stupid & inconsiderate but most everyone I know does this so it’s not much of a big deal.
What we need to do is remove giving estimates when it comes to schedules & simply give the exact time one prefers. Yes, we are not trains with calculated trajectories that can always arrive exactly on time but we can always be early. If you estimate that you would arrive at 5, give it a buffer & say “I will be there at 5:30”.
Also, traffic is a universal constant around here so remove that from the acceptable excuses of being late. Always plan with traffic in mind. Saying you are late because of traffic is like saying that you are late because our president has no hair on the top of his head. It’s ridiculous.Digs?

The True Kim Taeyeon
At Music Bank one of the backup dancers was too close to the exploding firecrackers and fell over. She wasn’t injured, but rather surprised. As soon as the cameras turned off TTS quickly ran to her and asked if she was okay. It looked like they were half sorry and half worried.
At Inkigayo Taeyeon learned that firecrackers were going to be used during the second pre-recording. After asking the staff members about the details, she explained to each and every backup dancer the exact times and whereabouts the firecrackers were going to explode.
This occasion reminds me of the rookie Kim Taeyeon who cried watching staff members eat on the floor.
